It’s important for citizens to understand the relative strengths and weaknesses of the Canadian and US economy before they decide that the country needs a ‘deal’. I’ve brought together a bunch of background info that I haven’t heard much of from the legacy media. I think it suggests Canada is doing a whole lot better than America right now. https://billhulet.substack.com/p/my-hot-take-on-the-current-trade

    An old adage in the industry says that the first GPU out of the fab plant costs $1 billion dollars but the nest one costs $5. The actual making of the chip itself, since so many of them can be made from the same die, is not that costly. The total cost of designing and developing the GPU is enormous and a significant chunk of the profit from each GPU sold goes to developing the net model. Although Nvidia’s balance sheet looks good, it is only as good as the next iteration.
